The Clippers responded with a statement to Haynes, disputing the claims.
"Mr. Shelton's claims were investigated and found to be without merit. We honored Mr. Shelton's employment contract and paid him in full," <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://x.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/1849545974903181773">the statement read</a>. "This lawsuit is a belated attempt to shake down the Clippers based on accusations that Mr. Shelton should know are false."
